What to eat??

I was just wondering what everyone eats now that we are 7 months post op? Elizabeth 267~165~140

I can handle pretty much anything except bread, flour tortillas or dry meats. I still have to be conscious of eating slowly, becasue I will throw up every time if I don't! Some days I feel like I eat a lot, but I know it's nothing compared to what I ate pre-op, other days I feel like I didn't eat anything. I am working hard on pushing fluids now because I have had ttrouble with that in the past 7 months, really longer than that! I do get cravings for things, I'm sure it's a mind thing! I would love a big juicy steak, but in reality, 2 tiny bites would do it for me! Hugz, Gina L

Hi Elizabeth, well these days i can eat just about whatever,but this is what my menu consist of, turkey,cheese rollups,chili,ham,chicken,egg salad,wheat thins,any kinds of cheese,bacon,still no steak,but hamburger ground lean,i did make a fake ice cream sandwhich this week , i took one graham cracker and spread pb,then i sliced a bann half,then i put cool whip on it and froze it............it did satisfy my craving......i also do 2 protein shakes a day and i do use milk..........i am 150lbs and i am happy...Vickie r.

I HAVE REALLY JUST STAYED IN A "NOT REALLY HUNGRY" MODE, THANK YOU, GOD! I LIVE ON POWER CRUNCH PROTEIN BARS (2 A DAY), CRYSTAL LITE (I JUST STARTED REALLY TRYING TO PUSH THE FLUIDS - I'M TERRIBLE AT THAT), SEAFOOD & CHICKEN SALAD. LATELY, I'VE BEEN ON A STEAMED CRABLEGS KICK. HIGHLY-TEXTURED MEATS LIKE STEAK, PORK & CHICKEN STILL CAUSES PAIN IN MY POUCH. I DUMP BIG TIME ON PASTA & RICE PRODUCETS ... &, IF I EAT EVEN 1 TOO MANY BITES, I'M ing IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE NEVER TRIED ANYTHING WITH SUGAR ... I KNOW MYSELF; PUT A REESE CUP (OR, HEAVEN FORBID, A CADBURY EGG AT EASTER) IN MY MOUTH EVEN ONCE & I'M A GONER. I HAVE VERY, VERY FEW TIMES THAT I EVEN WANT SWEETS EXCEPT I'M HOOKED ON SF POPCICLES. IF I DO GET A SWEET TOOTH, IT'S SF WITH SPLENDA ALL THE WAY FOR ME. I HAVE HAD THE "CRUNCHIES" FOR ABOUT A MONTH SO I GET QUAKER RICE & SOY CRISPS & CHEETOS, WHICH ALL HAVE LOW SUGAR CARBS & THE SOY CRISPS HAVE 9 GRAMS OF PROTEIN. MY WHOLE FOOD MINDSET HAS CHANGED ... AMAZINGLY, FOOD DOESN'T HAVE THE CHARM IT HAD FOR ME BEFORE SURGERY. I DO ENJOY THE FLAVOR OF FOOD BUT I'M JUST NOT ALL THAT INTERESTED IN EATING. I COOK FULL MEALS FOR MY PARENTS AS WELL AS FOR NICK BUT AFTER 4 OR 5 BITES AT MOST, I'M SATISFIED & ACTUALLY WANTING TO GET ON TO SOMETHING ELSE. IT'S WONDERFUL NOT BEING CONTROLLED BY FOOD! HOW ABOUT YOU, MS ELIZABETH ... WHAT ARE YOU EATING NOW?
